Hello, everyone! My name is Jamelle Bouie and I will be your friendly neighborhood guest blogger for this week. I already have a couple posts on tap (har har har) for today, but before I get to those, it's worth offering up a few biographical details. I grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and I studied politics at the University of Virginia. As of now, I'm hanging out in Charlottesville and working for the university while I figure out what I want to do with my life. As far as the Internets are concerned, I come to you by way of two places: PostBourgie (from which previous guest-blogger Shani O. Hilton hails) and the League of Ordinary Gentlemen. In any case, I'm super excited to be here this week, so let's start it up! --Jamelle Bouie
